By combining Ethernet test capabilities for copper and ber links with the Android OS 1, LinkRunner G2 represents a breakthrough in handheld network test that elevates the pro ciency and productivity of network technicians responsible for troubleshooting as well as deployment and validation of network connected devices. Importance of Automated Network Connectivity Testing Paramount to the deployment of any type of network-connected device is validating link and network services from the point where end devices connect to the network. By automating those many tests in a simple but complete AutoTest, instead of requiring specialized expertise to understand the many underlying elements of network connectivity, even the least experienced technician can execute the test. AutoTest performs a default set of key network connectivity tests in seconds, providing a standardized test process that enables technicians to quickly and accurately identify if the problem is in the connected device, the network, or lack of proper PoE being supplied to the RJ-45 jack.

2 Standard AutoTest includes: TruePower PoE Class 0-4, UPOE Link speed/duplex Nearest switch including slot/port/vlan/voice VLAN DNS Validation Gateway Router Validation Reachability to target resource i.e. internet DHCP IP Address assignment When customization of the AutoTest is needed, pro les can be de ned to ensure a standardized test process is executed when variables about the link under test are needed. While these settings can be easily changed in use, pro les can be con gured by a senior team member to ensure lessskilled technicians are executing an AutoTest that is speci c to their network environment, which is particularly useful in organizations who manage distributed locations. Examples include: Site-speci c PoE con guration Proxy settings 1000BASE-T validation VLAN ID and Priority 802.1x authentication User-de ned MAC IPv4/IPv6 DHCP/Static IP Up to 10 custom-de ned ping or TCP port open targets At the completion of each AutoTest, the result is automatically uploaded into the included Link-Live results management and reporting database and sent to any number of recipients via . Users have the ability to add additional information that will append to the link test either directly from LinkRunner G2 or through . Examples of useful information to document with the AutoTest result: Trouble ticket number Jack location Use the on-board camera along with an Android app to scan a QR/Barcode Attach a photo of a serial number, asset tag or just proof of device install

3 Bene ts of Android OS Eliminate Security Risk of Using Personal Devices Many technicians today use their personal mobile device on the job to access vendor apps, check trouble tickets, look up technical documents, calculate IP address ranges, con gure network equipment, and more. However, the use of a personal device for job-related tasks could be considered a security risk. In addition, it may have only limited access to network infrastructure information (if connected to a guest VLAN, for example). But the mobile device has no ability to validate wired Ethernet infrastructure it cannot test PoE, cabling, link negotiation or network services. While it features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, many networked end-point devices do not support these connection methods. So multiple tools are needed. Work ow E ciency Gains Imagine how much time it would save to have a single device that could: Receive a trouble ticket View.pdf documents Verify network services via AutoTest Automatically document test results Do all things Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that you can do with your personal mobile device with the optional Edimax2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth USB Adapter On-board camera to document installed devices, scan QR/barcodes, etc. Con gure any IoT device that supports an Android app or web connection via Chrome browser Use Android apps to do things like: Con gure an IoT device (security camera, AP, lighting, HVAC) Telnet into a switch Run a speed test Access an IP calculator View info provided by a Bluetooth-supported sensor Plug in a USB printer and along with the companion Android app, print labels Get help start a webex, invite others and share your screen enabling quick assistance without unnecessary downtime
